Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following should
be observed:
1 Do not wash the keypad with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a barely damp cloth
should remove normal accumulations of dust.
2 The battery/bell test is designed to determine battery condition, however it is
recommended that the stand-by battery be replaced every three years.
3 For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic
or microwave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the respective
manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance.
Fire Safety in the Home
Most fires occur in the home and to minimize this danger it is recommended that
a household fire safety audit be conducted and a family escape plan be
developed.
Household Fire Safety Audit
1 Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed
cords, over-loaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the
condition of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional
evaluation.
2 Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well ventilated
cool area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3 Are fire hazardous materials (such as matches) well out of reach of children?
4 Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in
good working order? Have a professional evaluation.
Family Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes
deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and
rehearsed.
1 Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
2 Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house and
since many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape
routes from sleeping quarters.
3 It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the
interior door. Consider the following when making your escape plans:
• Make sure that doors and windows that open to the outside are easily opened.
Ensure that they are are not painted shut, and that their locks operate
smoothly.
• If opening the exit or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or
handicapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This includes making
sure that those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire
warning signal.
• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should
be provided as well as training in its use.
• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from
exterior patio doors in winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block
exits.
• The family should have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can
be accounted for; for example, across the street or at a neighbour’s house.
• Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.
• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate first or attempt to
fight the fire, and do not attempt to rescue belongings or pets as this takes up
valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire
department.
• Write the plan down and rehearse frequently, so that should an emergency
arise, everyone will know what they are to do. Revise the plan as conditions
change; for example, when there are more or fewer family members in the
home, or if there are changes to the house.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests
as noted elsewhere in this manual. If you are unsure about system operation,
contact your installing dealer.
• It is recommended that you contact your local fire department and request
further information on home fire safety and escape planning. If available,
have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.

Department of Communications Notice
NOTICE: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of
the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method
of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may
be extended by means of certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated
by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions,
may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
User should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution
may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be
connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop
may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers
of all the devices does not exceed 100.
The Load Number of this unit is 42.
AVIS: L’étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette
étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme à certaines normes de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité
des réseaux de télécommunications. Le Ministère n’assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la
satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de
l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode
acceptée de raccordement. Dans certains cas, les fils intérieurs de l’entreprise utilisés pour un service
individuel à ligne unique peuvent être prolongés au moyen d’un dispositif homologué de raccordement
(cordon prolongateur téléphonique interne). L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité
aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empèche pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations.
Actuellement, les entreprises de télécommunications ne permettent pas que l’on raccorde leur matériel à des
jacks d’abonné, sauf dans les cas précis prévus par les tarrifs particuliers de ces entreprises.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être effectuées par un centre d’entretien canadien autorisé
désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher
un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais
fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d’énergie
électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d’eau métalliques, s’il y en a, sont raccordés
ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.
AVERTISSEMENT: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours
à un service d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
L’indice de charge (IC) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique, pour éviter toute surcharge, le
pourcentage de la charge totale qui peut être raccordée à un circuit téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce
dispositif. La terminaison du circuit bouclé peut être constituée de n’importe quelle combinaison de
dispositifs, pourvu que la somme des indices de charge de l’ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.
L’Indice de charge de ce produit est 42.
